Flavor-Packed Sesame Meatballs with Teriyaki Vegetables Recipe Is Better Than Take-Out
Fresh ginger gives it a zingy pop
At my house it seems we call for take-out at least once a week. It’s super easy and our local Chinese restaurant has so many choices it never gets boring. Trouble is, it gets to be expensive. That’s why I love this Sesame Meatballs with Teriyaki Vegetables recipe. It’s absolutely delicious. Best of all it cooks up all on one sheet pan so prep and cleanup are a breeze.
The tasty Asian-style meatballs are packed with flavor thanks to plenty of fresh ginger, garlic, sesame seeds and teriyaki sauce. When shaping the balls, it’s key to keep them all the same size so they bake evenly. The easiest way to do that? Simply roll the meat mixture into two logs. Then cut the logs into equal-size pieces. Now using moist hands, roll the pieces into balls. Cook along with our video and watch how easy it is, then leave us a comment.
